Has the players association weighed in?

The association that stayed silent over multiple sexual assault and harassment claims?

Not a peep.

Also want Philly one of the first teams to adopt the You Can Play program? This just keeps getting worse somehow.

Even crazier, the only other defensemen to ever have as many as 60 points in their first 46 games in a season: Bobby Orr, Denis Potvin, and Paul Coffey. Coffey in 88-89 was the last do it. Karlsson hadn't been born yet.

Some nobody on twitter was trying real hard to convince people that the Bruins should trade all their picks for Toews and I hope he gets his wish.

No, not Devon. Jonathan.

You have to imagine SJ and Karlsson have to be trying to facilitate a trade to a contender while his value his high.

But it’s such a weird case because his contract seems untradeable even though he’s arguably the Norris frontrunner this year.

Supposedly SJ is asking for 3+ first round picks and magnanimously offering to retain as much as 10% so no, there's not yet any indication he's going anywhere. They'd probably rather keep him around so there's one player fans have heard of to put a picture of on the ads, they have to spend to the floor anyway.

Like, putting aside gays are people too thing for a sec, the pride jerseys was something Laughton and JVR pushed for and gotten org buy-in from and was basically their baby. Provorov doing this is a huge slap in the face towards Laughton, JVR, and whoever else and says that Provorov doesn't give a poo poo about his teammates at all and its all about Ivan. That is something a professional hockey coach should be real mad about given managing locker room dynamics is kinda Torts' job and the sheer amount of disrespect it causes. If Provorov skipped out on homeless appreciation night when the rest of the team is wearing homeless jerseys, that should be just as a big of deal to Torts because Provorov cannot have come off as more of as a selfish prick as possible

Yeah, this has caused a wedge in the room, but the problem is Torts 1000% thinks Laughton and JVR are in the wrong for "politicizing the game" and Provorov is right. And for all his bluster he's too chicken poo poo to actually go against his bosses.

torts also does that annoying thing where he will excoriate a journalist in a press conference if they ask a "stupid" question. he pretends to be bill belechick(who is also an rear end in a top hat) and doesnt have nearly the accolades that he does

also this is fun:

Although this thread is a clear exception, hockey fans are the loving worst. Also, as said Tortorella is an idiot and a homophobe. There is no way he wouldn't know letting Provorov sit the warmup would make the event all about Provorov and his hateful bullshit.

I have seen several hockey pundits come out against the Provorov situation in clear angry criticism, and the two Athletic articles on it are very progressive, but the comments sections and Instagram are flooded with hate and spite. It makes it extremely difficult to remain a queer hockey fan. And I was already a Canucks fan which is hard enough as it is. gently caress this hateful poo poo. It's the same thing when a team has a Pride themed post on Instagram. For all the support there are always ten times more pants-making GBS threads hateful homophobes equating queer existence with "politics" or wishing we didn't exist. If I delve too much it makes me cry and I don't know why I give a gently caress about this sport anymore, it used to bring me so much joy.

BTW all the McDavid getting abused stuff is dumb. Dude rarely gets hit and never gets hurt or at least plays through literally everything outside of a broken collar bone and a torn PCL that he can heal himself. He doesn't need any sort of protecting (no NHL player does).

Of course, but it was super funny that they saddled him with Kassian for eight years because they were convinced he was some sort of deterrent.
